    Bits and pieces players

    Victor Trumper also. Australia have been lucky for almost half a century with had top order batsmen who could bowl more than usefully, so in the absence of an obvious allrounder, they've generally been able to pick a 6-1-4 team pattern. Doug Walters, Greg Chappell, Greg Matthews briefly, then...

    Bits and pieces players

    I agree that a bits and pieces cricketer is someone with no obvious role. While James Vince is getting a gig, it's hard to say Moeen Ali isn't worth a spot in the side as a batsman, and equally, England have yet to demonstrate that there is a better spinner out there anywhere currently. So...

    Best in the world title belt history

    That would be on the back of his series against New Zealand in the wet summer. 5 test series, NZ's scores were 94 + 137 47 + 74, 67 + 129, 267 + 85, 161 + 91-3. Lock took 34 at under 8 that series, compared to the relative flops of Laker (16@11) and Trueman (15@17) Imagine if we had a...

    Symonds Ron Archer I only just realised Archer hadn't been picked already. Seems a bit of an oversight. I'm thinking Toshack is also an "oops i forgot" player...

    India's Fourth Best Opener

    If you were picking Indian All Time XI's presumably Sorry about that, I tried a poll and something went wrong so I thought that the whole thread hadn't started I'll restart.... Just in light of the current team's opening struggles in South Africa..... Presumably most people pick Gavaskar...

    All Time Australian XI game

    Wessels Saunders Rick McCosker Ross Edwards Starfighter : I think Frank Iredale is the only pre-WW1 batsman left with a 30+ average who could bat in the top 5. Matthews, Mackay and Symonds battle for the no.6 slot. As well as the two I chose, how about Shaun Marsh, Greg Ritchie, Marcus...
